BB guns are banned in some locations.

I probably went through 10,000+ rounds 2 years ago when my wife and I were practicing nearly nightly in my shop (shooting into bullet trap) when we participated in a pistol league along with my IDPA practice. I and many others who shoot IDPA and folks who shoot 3-gun have been buying .22 conversion kits for our pistols and AR15's to be able to still afford to practice after the first ammo shortage in '08.

I probably currently have about 8000 rounds of .22 just for cheap practice. In prior years when I was not competing or on a "gun kick", a 550 value pack would last me several years of occasional varmint eradication and plinking. In recent times my wife and I have gone through a 550 pack in one evening out in the shop.
